   My COMPUTER ~

   P-35 Platinum MS-7345 Mobo

   Windows XP  Home Edition SP3

   Intel Core 2 Quad CPU  Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)

   2.4 GHz, 3328 MB RAM

   NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT 512 Memory Size

   Realtek HD Audio Output Sound

   DirectX version: 9.0c

   Monitor: Viewsonic VX2035wm Series

   WD 500 GB HDD / WD 74GB RAPTOR HDD

   NERO 9 / PCI-500 (came with Studio 12.1 Movieboard)

   Pinnacle Studio ULTIMATE 14 HD

    ___________________________________________________________

    

   First editing program I bought was the studio 12.1
   Movieboard , it came with a PCI-500 capture device…video in/out, S-video, and
   firewire, but NO AUDIO.  Just came with a Y (RCA) cord to run the
   Audio-out from JVC Analog camcorder into my onboard Realtek HD sound
   card.  I've been having MAJOR SYNC ISSUES with video not matching audio as
   much as 8 second delay. (Both Studio 12, and most recently the Studio Ultimate
   14.

    

   I have spent countless hours and wasted many  TDK DVD+R
   discs trying to troubleshoot why I am having sync/dropped frames while trying
   to capture analog VHS-C camcorder tapes to ultimately burn to DVD.

    

   Pinnacle support and myself have been going round and round,
   mostly on my part, they never tell me anything except if they don't receive a
   reply within five days, then they will assume the case is closed....! 
   WHAT???   The only response from them is to turn down the DATA-RATE
   from 6 to 4 to 2, but the audio is still off.  Then they told
   me to update my Nvidia GeForce 8600GT GPU, still the same problem.

    

   Doesn't matter if it's my canon G6 Digital video, analog
   Panasonic VCR, or JVC 1997 Analog Camcorder, it's all off sync. I've
   de-fragged, cleaned up disc, emptied all temp/internet files, redirected the
   video to go to secondary 500GB HDD (Storage) instead of to my Boot Drive 74GB
   Raptor HDD for apps, to minimize paging files and resources, and end tasked all
   programs running in the background before I start to capture to Studio.

    

    Someone mentioned a pass-thru method using a DV tape
   camera (without any tape) connect JVC analog camcorder into the DV tape camera,
   (with VHS-C tapes) then use a firewire connect to go to computer. Is this my
   only option?

    

   Then someone mentioned I would need a Device that has the
   TBC to correctly LOCK-IN both the video and Audio.  Or the ADVC Canopus
   100 or 300, that both the video and audio go in on the same device.

    

   I have a Panasonic S-29 VCR, but with no FIREWIRE or USB,
   just Composite RCA A/V, so I can't use this Ultimate 14 studio using this VCR,
   and I have an old GONG SHOW tape of our band, and a video of my dad's ashes
   being buried at sea, that I need to put on a CD or DVD, with about 50 VHS-C
   camcorder tapes I also have to capture, edit, and make movie to put on DVD.

    

   So eventually I want to buy a Canon or Sony Digital HD 1080
   camcorder that I can use with this Ultimate 14 Studio, and at the same time
   presently, I will need something to help me with using my stuio14 HD, along
   with capturing all my analog content and burning onto a DVD without having all
   these audio sync problems.

    

   I don't have the money to go out and buy a new VCR/DVD Combo
   with Firewire, just to capture the gong show or use the VHS-C converter to
   playback into the VCR, but if that's my only option...then again, I think I
   could not do any editing with this device, only record directly to DVD from the
   VCR, that's it.  So if I can't edit off the compressed burned DVD, then
   what's the point?

    

   TBC, someone mentioned I will need that to lock in frames
   with the audio, I don't know. Please help!

   I think you need to get a DVD Recorder.  With a DVD recorder (these replace VHS machines, do the same as a VHS machine, only record to DVD)  The DVD Recorder has RCA ports, thus meaning every device you mentioned could hook up to it to be recorded and saved to disk.  Once it is on DVD, It is a MPEG 2 file, a digital file.

   Once you have recorded the VHS tapes, finalize the DVD.  Take the DVD to your computer, insert the DVD, explore the DVD.  You will find files By the name of VTS_01_1.  The last digit in that file name can be any number between 1 and 999, they start at 1.  These files are your video files.  You will need a video converter program to both convert these VTS_01_1 files to something your editing software can make use of.   If you use DVD-RW as the transport mode between DVD Recorder and computer, you can reformat it and use again and again and again.  Burn on to DVD_R from the computer for long lasting memories.

    Hi,

   I use the Pinnacle Movie box to capture with Studio12 VHS and Hi8 movies this work good if you can find on eBay a Movie Box this can fit your application. Studio 14 has bad capturing function and cannot create directly a good DVD you must use in 2 steps creating the DVD file first and burning the file in the next step. Pinnacle or Avid has made nothing to correct problem in version 14 they try to sell the new Studio 15 or Avid Studio probably not so good because is a new release full of bug or missing function  

   Also you can try to find a good capture card on Internet may be an expert on videomaker can recommand one.

   Other solution is a DVD recorder but you have to test or develop your procedure.

   Regards,

   YR
